On this episode of the Actual Fluency Podcast I welcome on Judith Meyer. Judith is a very well-known polyglot and speaks over 12 languages. During the recording we touch on many areas such as how to learn, how to set goals to get motivated and whether or not you should learn Latin or other ancient languages.
Judith is very passionate about learning languages and shares a ton of great tips and tricks on how to learn languages within today's episode. She also organises the PolyGlot Berlin gathering, that I will be attending in June. Be sure to listen at the end of the Podcast, where she reveals a little fun event of the gathering that she has not announced anywhere yet.
